Atlantic Surf Pods is a friendly, family-run luxury glamping site in Bude on the north Cornish coast. Set within 26 acres of farmland, our site is primarily off grid, which makes for a peaceful and relaxing stay, just a mile from the beautiful surfing beaches of Bude.

Each pod is a luxurious, spacious capsule, insulated to the highest degree, featuring underfloor heating for colder nights so they are comfortable all year round.

There is also a luxury fully-furnished bathroom facility within the vicinity of the pods, featuring a full-size bath, large mirror, and electric points outside for the use of beauty appliances and chargers.

The entrance to the farm is set directly on the Atlantic Highway (the A39, the main road past Bude), making it easily accessible to all, yet the site itself is set far back from the road on the other side of the farm, resulting in no noise from the road.

The field adjacent to the site is home to many farm animals, including chickens, turkeys, geese, sheep, three alpacas and a donkey. These are a big hit with the kids and animal feed is available from a member of staff.

On site, there is a shell-craft studio where children and adults alike can decorate various items, such as picture frames, mirrors, terracotta plant pots, or create shell ornaments. This has proved popular with local schools as an alternative to arts and crafts lessons. There is also a children's play area and ball game area on site.

Bude town centre, Stratton, and Marhamchurch are only a 20-minute stroll from our site in various directions, with many pubs, restaurants and attractions to hand.

We look forward to welcoming you and will go out of our way to ensure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible!

Liked: The location, that everything you could need is provided for you, friendless of the owners. It's lovely and quiet (apart from when my daughter arrived), the animals on site and the shell factory were all wonderful

Disliked: That the bean bags are advertised as seating but my daughter had to also sleep on one of them with a sleeping bag on top. I was under the impression from the description a bed is provided. Not the best to sleep on as you can imagine and I think a small put-up bed could easily be put in there. We resorted to buying one after 2 restless nights.

Liked: The pod itself was clean and tidy, nice soft bedding and a relaxed atmosphere. The heated flooring was okay, around 16-19 degrees. So if your coming in the winter, bring an extra blanket!

Disliked: The shower was cold, and we had to use the communal bathroom. Which isn't an issue for me, but when it was busy you had to wait to have a hot shower.

The owner states that arrival is between 4-6pm. I let him know 2 days in advance that we would be arriving later, around 10pm. When I phoned him to let him know we would be even later, he didn't like it, and his attitude was not pleasant nor welcoming. However, once I reminded him, that I already emailed with good time, his attitude changed a little- So make sure you arrive between 4-6pm!

Liked: This was one of most amazing places I have ever stayed. Peter and family made you feel welcome and the pod was great fun. The bed was very comfortable and the kids loved the beanbags . The pod and the area was very clean. Peter checked in with us once a day making sure we had everything we needed and if we were happy. The children played together nicely which was great to see.

Liked: Everything. We loved the site, location, and facilities. The owners and all staff were all really friendly. My little boy is very inquisitive and the staff always took their time to talk to him and answer his questions. The facilities were great. The pods had everything we needed, and were very roomy. We stayed in the pods during the recent wind storms and hardly even noticed it! They were very comfortable and warm. The site is the perfect size. There are only 7 pods any more would spoil the balance of the site.

Disliked: Nothing. But maybe a hook or two inside the pod would be useful for wet coats in the winter, and to hang the lamp.

Liked: This was probably the best UK holiday I have ever been on. Not one for camping or glamping - I am more refined to hotels, I found this absolutely fantastic. The pods were more than anticipated. The BBQ was fantastic, the beds were extremely comfortable and everything was so amazing. I have recommended this to all of my friends and family and many have now visited.

Disliked: I didnt dislike anything.

Booking as a group?

You can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on Pitchup.com.
